How many amps does the halogen unit draw for low and high beams?
42191
amp: High 5.08 / Low 2.73watt: High 65 / Low 35Published specs for amperage typically have a tolerance of plus or minus 10%.

This is a more complex problem than it would seem. I tend to use overkill when sizing wire to a given load. In addition, a friend replaced all of my fixtures original quartz halogen bulbs with LED's that draw less current. And generally speaking, it is not just the load in amperes, but the length of the wire run in feet that determines the wire gauge needed. I would suggest that you employ someone with knowledge in electronics to size and determine your layout. This is especially true if your layout is complex and heavily loaded. I wish I could be of more help, but I have to hire an electrician. Good luck!

My original bulbs used about an amp. These use about 50 ma. That's 1/20th the power for about half the light. I used to have 4 incandescent bulbs. I changed half of them. When we are in a national park running on battery alone, I am quite happy with the result.I

5 amps tends to work best. If you go with a lower power they will not be as bright and technically it can handle more but it will shorten the life of the LEDs.

i believe that your high beam is a 9005 and low beam is 9006. i got these bulbs but ended up getting an HID kit, HID's are alot brighter.

The model #980A draws about 38 Watts or .31 Amps (1/3 of one ampere) or less than a 40W light bulb. The model #980A requires very little power and is very cost effective for its intended uses.

Re: "Answer - one is a high beam - one is a low beam" answerer is mistaken. The high vs low-beam question depends on the specific vehicle; look it up on Sylvania's site. On one of my cars (2004 Highlander) it's High and on another it's low.Differences between 9005 & 9006:9005 are 65 watt..... 9006 are 55 wattThere is a slight difference in the connector and the mount tabs, but that can be "fixed" with a file. If you try that please be sure the filament is in exactly the same spot on both bulbs; otherwise you could shine LESS light.

When I tested it on a jump box at 12.5 v with the 9 watt lights (this was a white light) on a snap on tester the draw was 55 Milli amps. Hope this helps

It will draw at least 7 amps. You need to run 14 gauge wire to the light and have a 20 - 30 amp fuse.

Yours requires a 9007 bulb. That is a dual beam or hi-beam and lo-beam. So you have a couple options. 1. You can just get a standard kit which will eliminate your hi- beams. Not my choice. 2. Get a kit that has the HID for your low beam and then it has a halogen bulb mounted with it for the hi-beam. 3. You can get a kit that had the HID bulb but it is telescopic ally mounted so as that it moves the bulb for a lo-beam position and a separate Hi-beam position. Have used these in the past and they seem to work nicely. If you search for the 9007 HID conversion kits, I'm sure you will find them.

Less of a power draw. My track lighting has 7 lights at 50W per bulb using the halogens, compared to 7 at 5W per bulb. 350W draw compared to 35W.

Don't know amp draw they are led so it's pretty close to 5 to 10 amps per light they throw a beam about twenty feet behind the boat I only have two lights I think the package said that they are 600 plus lumens

They draw about 4.5 amps. You can use the equation watts/volts = amps. These lights have 55 watt bulbs in them and are 12 volt, so 55/12 is about 4.5 amps.

I don't see .39 amps anywhere in the specs. The unit I have is very bright and based on comparisons to other lights it seems plausible that it's really 10W. It's bright, at least the one I have.

not sure about that. Usually it is the max load you have to worry about. I have 5 halogen bulbs, each 25 watts. Works fine

This unit is only rated for 100 watts and I doubt that your metal halide bulb plus its ballast is less than 100. I wouldn't attempt it.

The halogen bulb receptacle will accept the LED unit. The question is whether you have enough space to accommodate the other parts, ie. the LED device has a small fan that screws into the back of the LED lamp. you also need space for the ballast. The difference in brilliance is worth the effort. I don't know the amperage but I suspect that it's considerably lower
